to give the alarm in case of fire. It
in too late to lock the 3table after
the horse has boen stolen, and it will
be too late to provide this reasonable
and essential precaution afer half of
Conway has gone up in smoke. This
can be done, too, without any additional
expense to the city as we have
had and now have two marshals and
it can be so arranged as to relieve
each other every six hours day and
night without working a hardship
upon either.

Tlie Quattletoaum Estate.
Lexington Diapatch.
Iu was the Editor's privilege to
meet Col C P Quattlebaum, oi Conway,
on the train last week. The
Colonel was returning to nis home
from Leesville, where he had been
for the purpose of dividing the personal
property of his mother's estate,
Mrs Sarah Quattlebaum, who
bequeathed certain articles of furniture,
silverware, etc , to her surviv
ing cnuarcn, and it, was a very sad
mission indeed. All of the children
were present and tho personal property
was amicably divided, each of
the children receiving something in I
which to remember their sainted
mother by and to hand down to generation
after generation.
It is very probable that the real
estate, which consists of the old
homestead, at one time one of the
handsomest country homes in tho
county, will be sold and perhaps go
out of tho family. General Paul
Quattlebaum was one of Ihe foremost
men of his time and his home
was always open to his friends.
Military and Band
Arrangements are beiug made to
have a grand military day Fair
week One of the biggest features
of this day will be the fact that there
will be seven irood brass bands in
Columbia at this timo.

BIG STAKE RACES "
AT JSlAit tAlK
For the First Time South Carolina
Gets Stake Races--Bi^
Entries.
t!?> 1111111 da. S. C.---(Special.)?In nil the
lil'u of the State Fair-forty years?
there have never been anything like
the rnres that are scheduled for this
year. The lair opens October L'tlth and
closes October 30lh. There w ill he four
days of racing. Already live stake
races have been arranged for trotters
and pact rs. Purses will be offered for
both harness and running horses.
Between $6,000.??0 and $7,(100.00 has
been offered us prizes for these raees.
The attraetive prizes, together with the
fact that so many of the Northern and
Fastern tracks have had trouble with
the racers, will make the entries here
fair week the best aggregation of fast
horses ever seen anywhere in the
South.
Strings of horses from the most renowned
stables in the country will be
here fair week. With the races nearly
two months off, the entries for the
stake raees counted up to ninety-three,
and it is expected that more than a
hundred of America's (inest racers will
t>e entered for the stake races.
The purse raees will be much above
the average this year. More money is
offered and better horses will be raced.
Tho track has been put in apple j?ic
order and the grandstands enlarged
and reworked. This was necessary to
accommodate the Immense crowds that
will witness all of the races during fair
week, this being the first of tho scries
in the Virginln-Carolinn Circuit.
There will he other sports. Davidson
College plays Cleinson <m Wednesday,
and tin* I'nlverity of Stonth Carolina
plays Davidson College on Thursday.
Mr, l{. C. Keenan will have the races
in charge, and he knows his business.
President Mobley expects the races
this year to bring people to the fair
from every part or the State and from
many surrounding States.
TOGO AND HIS FIGHTERS.
Japanese Admiral the Idol of Ills
Meu-ZeiU of tho OlllOer*.
Vice Admiral Togo, commander of
the Japanoso Hoot, has had morn experience
In modern naval warfare than
any other living man, and wall has ho
overcome his many difficulties and met
his grout responsibilities, says Lieutenant
Commander Albert (ileaves, TJ. S.
N., hi the \'ew Turk World. Mr. Wilson,
the 1'iiigliHh critic, soys of him, referring
to the action of Aug. 10, "llo
could not open bis attack Impetuously,
as n fighter would love to do," and
thinks that in the nccond phase of tho
battle he was prevented from closing
by tho ulterior necessity of keeping
his fleet Interposed between tho Russians
and Kaiochnu and Vladivostok.
Togo Is sahl to be the idol of his men,
and hl^/boniitlful and pathetic speech
to Ills torpedo boat officers on the eve
of their historic midnight attack at
Port Arthur will never he forgotten.
And his men are worthy of their leader.
A recent writer has miM of the
Japanese navy:
"The officers am very eager and
quick to learn and cnn grasp at once
the good points to l>e adopted and the
had ones to he avoided, but perhaps
their chief characteristic is Intense devotion
to their profesffon, In which all
their Interests seotn Wrapped up. The
Japanese naval officer is as keen about
and as Interested In the exerelscs of
peace, naval maneuver*, etc., na If at
war ami feels intensely the praise or
blame of hie superior*, flatter of
which is never \vh! ; r unserved.
The warrant offf s. p. i\ i . . is and
men are as go 1 : and anywhere
and einuiHie iiion superiors to
riUlll II1IU UL'VUlliMI . . I'll? Rfl VHT, i llf'J'
are a sturdy, well unlit lot of men nod
very uctlve and capable of great endurance."
Mtorohonne ffrp lovftia,
Tho Vtoiinu Academy of fldenoe bee
decided to net aside ft room for the purposo
of establishing phonographic archives,
In which are to he preserved the
results of recent scientific roscnrohe.%
says a special cable dispatch from Vienna
to tho Philadelphia Pros*. Ono
section will ho devoted exclusively to
the phonographic records of all the languages
and prlncl]>al dialects of the
world. Another section will contain
records of the best musical productions.
Tho third section will contain phonographic
records of the speeches made
by the greatest^c$|ebrltIos of our times.

GALILEO'S TOWER A CAFE.

For ooiiluries a conspicuous object on
tho beautiful bill of A recti, above Floren
e, In Italy, tbo famous "Star tow*
or" of (hililco, whore the great astronomer
made many of bis most impor*
taut discoveries, Is now practically destroyed,
says a Florence correspondent
of tbo Chicago Tribune. Commercial
enterprise is responsible. For some
months tbo picturesque structure baa
been swathed In scaffolding while
workmen have been engaged In raising
the quaint eastellati'd tower by a
third of its former height, piercing Its
walls with two new tiers of windows
tnd adding a loggia. When the work
Is completed the tower will be used
for a cafe and restaurant.
"To the Anglo Saxon race," says on?
writer, who has protested too late
against the destruction of the historic I
monument, "(Jalileo's towei^iosscssed

scene of tho classic meeting between
John Milton and the great Italian astronomer.
indeed in the whole history
of science and literature there is no In- i

mighty epic, to the Florentine sage,
blind, old and persecuted for alHrming
tlie great truths of the solar system."
Another place of pilgrimage in Italy
which on sentimental grounds makes
a fur stronger appeal than the "Star
tower" to popular Imagination, will
soon vanish entirely If something Is not
speedily done to preserve what remains
of It. This Is the house In Veronf.
from the balcony of which Juliet, cried:
"Oh, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?"
Hie mansion is crumbling to
ruins ami on the point of collapse.
It Is probable that only the facade oi*
the building formed part of the original
structure. The arms of the house of
Capulct, however, still brave tho
weather over the entrance gate In tha
Interior court, and an Inscription placed
there reads, "This Is the house of tho
Capulets, from which sprang Juliet, for
whom so many poets have sung and
tender hearts have wept."
Though shoals of pilgrims hnvo visited
tho shrine consecrated to two Immortal
lovers, the shrine Itself has
been put to strange uses. It has served
at various times as a cabman's lodging
bouse, a restaurant, a warehouse for
carts and a "furrier's shop.
I HE UNE GREAT GATHERING
OF SOUTH CAROLINIANS
11.? State Fair This Year?October
20 to ?0.
The fortieth annual State Fair will
ho hehi at Columbia this your October
M -30, and It gives promise to be the
greatest State Fair ever held. No mottor
how bad the crops or how bard the
times, everybody goc.c to the State Fall
at Columbia. It has been the eiistom
now for nearly half a century, and it
will ever continue so with crowd* increasing
each year.
The State Fair Is the one time of the
year that work can he put down and
everyone have a good time for a few
days. Old acquaintances and relatives
meet at the State Fair if they are not
fortunate enough to ny;et elsewhere
during the year. Friends meet friends
and college men meet their college
mates and renew friendships with good
stories of the good times of tho past.
This year the fair holds even more
than that for South Carolinians. It
will he made up of new exhibits that
will teach the farmers new methods
and Improvements that mean money to
every one of them.
Tho races will be the best ever seen
in the South. This being the first year
that the Fair Association has entered
the Virginia-Carolina Circuit. The
stake races will bring many of the
country's very finest racers. The two
football games will draw thousands of
enthusiastic "rooters" from both the
| Carollnas.
Columbia is better fitted t<> take care
of hor guests than ever before, with
more hotel accommodations. The railroads
will nil put on special rates, as
usual. President John O. Mohley, of
the Fair Association, lias worked hard
to get everything in ship-shape, and he
predicts the largest crowd In tho history
of the fair.
